Just wanna say, it’s extremely cool to me how we’ve been getting annual headlines about how it’s been the “hottest year on record” for decades now and we haven’t changed anything! Should give you a lot of hope for the future 🥰
Hey, I'll have you know that I spent $50k on an electric vehicle charged with Clean and Green Liquified Natural Gas™
We as in the west right? China is doing shit. They are ahead of schedule reaching peak emissions.
Eh it'll go away once it gets to winter.
[Winter] 60 F and it never snows oh shit, oh fuck.
I think we'll have some extreme bouts of snow before it goes away though.
Yep, in the most unlikely of places too. Remember when the polar vortex collapsed in 2021 bringing Arctic air as far south as Mexico? Over 200 people in Texas died as a result of the frigid cold. I highly doubt they fortified their energy grid enough to properly mitigate a repeat event.
Over 200 people in Texas died as a result of the frigid cold.
Rhetorical fodder for
too. "I brought a snowball into a congressional building. Climate change don't real. Checkmate."
Can't wait to be "old man soros" in my neighborhood at age 40 who tells the kids about the before time when it snowed.
When the lake used to freeze, people would dance on the ice wearing boots with tiny swords. And fall in love.
Me too :( winter will never be the same without it on the east coast
It's been noticable just in my life time. Growing up we'd have snow before Halloween half the time, and the song "dreaming of a white Christmas" never made sense because obviously you'd have plenty of snow by Christmas. Now the snow comes later and later each year, and I fully expect a snowless Christmas before this decade is out
The older
that I know still have a vicious hatred of cold weather and say they wish the "climate change hoax" was real because they hate snow that much.I live in California. They still hate the concept of snow.
4 DOMES = 4 CORNERS
TIME CUBE IS REAL
YOU IGNORE 3 OF 4 DAYS -
FORCE 4 DAYS ON EARTH,
THEY ALREADY EXIST.
4 HORSEMEN HAVE 4 DAYS
IN ONLY 1 EARTH ROTATION.
4 ANGLES STOOD ON 4 CORNERS.
4 CORNERS ROTATE TO 16 CORNERS
WHICH EQUAL TO 4 CORNER DAYS.
TEACHERS ARE EVIL LIARS - THE
ONEness OF GOD IS STILLness DEATH.
Is timecube still up? I feel like we should preserve it as a shrine to the weird days of the middle internet.
have you tried turning it off and turning back on again
What? >50% of the human population is in a heat dome, so by definition this is perfectly normal 
Hopefully you get here in time for our next series of heat domes last one was a couple years ago so I'm sure it won't get any worse than that
It's about ten years old in popular usage and not really describing anything new https://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/23/us/23dome.html
Eli Jacks, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Silver Spring, Md., said that he had no idea where the term “heat dome” originated, and that while he prefers the term “heat wave,” the dome metaphor was “an apt way to describe this huge bubble of hot air.”
Apparently the government actually tracked down and killed all the murder hornets and that's why we don't hear about them anymore. It's been years since I read about it, I don't remember if it was state or federal, but some combination of agencies hunted them all down and exterminated them to the last murder hornet. Small win for ecology.
It's like the Y2K crisis.
It was actually handled, so some people assume it was never an issue.
who would have thought climate change was real and it was going to kill us all, oh yeah every fucking climate scientist
This rich lady's paying me to water her flowers and plants for the next two weeks while she's off in Canada and uh, if some of them turn to dust from the heat I hope she doesn't blame me. Fuck I just started watering them yesterday, she has a big backyard with over a hundred plants and the heat was insane. I took my shirt off and felt like I was being cooked alive
Get a uv sun hat and soak it in cold water before putting it on. It will give you a temporary reprieve.
When it's super hot, a mid-day water can significantly reduce stress.
In direct sunlight in these temps, you're gonna want to wear a loose shirt/pants (or better yet a robe, but that's a bit hard in the west for masc types.) So go for the loosest puffiest cotton/linen pirate shirt you can find. And cover your head. Taking your shirt off works better if you're running or there's a breeze.
not for get all doomer but i’m only 20 now and this is only the beginning. seriously what can i do? is there any climate optimism to be had? any solutions in sight (socialism obviously but still)?
yeah yeah communism’s inevitable due to contradictions but i don’t think marx envisioned that we would boil the earth and all it’s inhabitants to death before we reached that point
after the 1950 most of communist stopped believing in inevitablity theory, including soviet ones. this is because marx thinks the rate of profit to fall will cause crisis in two stated ways, that leaves open that their may be infinite ways or near infinite ways to restore profitability or counter tendency for the rate of profit to fall, which I think is true, to understand neoliberalism or fordism better as regimes of accumulation these are periodization of capitalism crisis to restore profitability. I think we are morphing out of neoliberalism into something new since 2009 but rember this the left didn't see neoliberalisn come until the early 90s it starts debatable 1972 or 1974.
Marx in a very vague sense talks about climate change kinda but about Thomas malthus but about soil productivity and he ends up trying to carve out a middle ground with malthus on carrying capacity of earth, while still condemning him.
i haven’t really heard any of this tbh so that was interesting to read. but if you look at the graphs of the rate of profit falling, yeah you’ll see brief increases during times of like war for example and other things, but those brief increases are only temporary and it begins to dwindle again, it’s a slow process but idk if they’ll be able to keep that up forever.
Yeah I think I stand in a sorta of middle ground, like I don't think its inevitable, but I think falling profit rates, the methods that they will resort to fix it could potentially cause potentially enough pressure if the left is ready and willing to take power, I'm a very orthodox Marxist on many things, an example that is interesting is marx writes in the 1881 edition of capital volume 1 in Russian to the early bolsvheks and basic tells them their revolution will fail if they tryed because they are still in feudalism. He revises it in 1883 to well maybe if russia is a catalyst for more mature captlists powers it will work out. So here in 2023 I think we can firmly say he was right, what ever the soviets ended up being they converted feudal russia to captlist russia. The assignment is the united States it always has been always will be. forming a serious socialist party with popular local level support this will probley split the Chinese ccp into two camps. And cause massive popular uprising around the globe, we ushered in the end of the feudalism era, its very likely we will usher in the next era as well, we always have been the most revolutionary project and we need to seize on that for the world. Im trying to be uplifting and provocative.
We basically have all the solutions so that's something to be optimistic about.
On an individual level, you can work in a climate change related industry or organise mutual aid in your local area as disasters become more frequent.
That's what's so frustrating. We already have the technology to solve this problem - just not the economic system to implement those solutions.
The climate is a balance of many factors. Whatever man made changes have been done can be undone.
THERE ARE 4 DOMES
